Our daughter has settled into the nursery with ease. Her key person and staff in the nursery take great care of her, pay attention to the smaller details and she is thriving. Her language has developed leaps and bounds since starting and she is always excited to go in.

I would highly recommend Bright Horizons Solihull Day Nursery and Preschool. They’ve created a lovely, welcoming environment and go above and beyond. The girls have made my little boy feel so welcome from his first settling in session and their care and compensation for each child are second to none.

Such a lovely, warm and welcoming nursery. The staff are wonderful and really seem to care. My little boy started nursery throughout lockdown so the experience was a little different with not being able to go into the nursery, however, lots of settling-in sessions were provided to get him used of being
away from me and the staff were really supportive during that period. Since starting nursery, my little boy's development has been amazing - his communication is fantastic and I feel that has been helped a lot by all of the activities he gets involved in. It’s lovely to get daily updates on what he has been doing via the new app and see photos of him playing and learning new things. It’s also great to be able to see his nap times and what he has eaten - the communication is great. I can’t thank the staff at Bright Horizons enough and look forward to seeing my little boy develop during his next few years.

The staff are very friendly and great with our son. He loves going there and we are very happy with the care he gets at the nursery. The food that they give is very good and the new app to provide updates throughout the day is really good. The staff have been great with our son when he has been ill.

Since my daughter started at this setting (during Covid times), the staff have been excellent in helping her settle in during such strange times. She loves coming each day, has such a good time and made some lovely little friends. Couldn’t recommend the staff and nursery more.

We are very pleased to have selected Bright Horizons in Solihull for our daughter. The staff are all friendly, always communicating with us and easily available to answer any questions we have. The nursery works closely with us to ensure progress is tailored to our daughter's needs. Whether it be an
improvement in social and verbal skills, independent feeding or potty training for her. The real bonus is the new app, which is updated throughout the day with all the activities that our daughter gets up to, including pictures. It also allows staff to directly send us messages and enables parents to record sickness or absence days. Thank you all the staff at Bright Horizons for all your work during the lockdowns and allowing our daughter to have consistency during those times.

Our daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Solihull Nursery and Preschool since autumn 2019, starting when she was eight months old. We are so grateful to the nursery for helping her to develop into a confident, intelligent and fun-loving two year old. The staff genuinely care for our daughter's
development and well-being both in and outside of nursery and engage with us as parents, giving us confidence that we are hopefully on the right track at home too. After an incredibly challenging year for everyone up and down the country, the nursery has been our one constant through lockdown's two and three. We appreciate all of the sacrifices staff have made to ensure that the nursery can stay open and bring joy to the lives of our daughter and her friends. Communication has improved dramatically since our daughter started and we are looking forward to the new app that promises to bring us more insight into what our little one gets up to when she walks through that door. Thank you to all at Bright Horizons Solihull Nursery and Preschool.

My son started nursery in March. The staff were brilliant at settling him in. He has really come out of his shell since being there. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and professional. They do brilliant activities. They keep me well informed on his progress. I have also had some lovely treats and
cards for Mothers Day and Easter. I always gets lots of photos, drawings and paintings to bring home.

The nursery has come on leaps and bounds with the current manager. The staff are friendly, competent and experienced. Our son loves going to nursery, they have equal measures of structured and unstructured activities. We are amazed how much they get taught. Our son came home knowing all the numbers
on the clock the other day and my husband and I were flabbergasted, looked at each other and both said, that must be nursery that taught him that! The setting is clean with a lovely garden. We were having some issues with the terrible two’s and the nursery staff helped us and worked with us to navigate through it without judgement. The food is varied and nutritious and hot meals are served every day. We will be sad when our son leaves to go to school in September, the nursery has been an integral part of our son’s growth, development and he has been there since he was nine months old! Keep up the good work and dedication, it is much appreciated!

My daughter has been at Bright Horizons Solihull Day Nursery and Preschool since 2019 and has flourished in their care during this time. She has made fantastic relationships with the staff who have taken the time to get the know her and aid her development. As a result she is really confident, has great
social skills and has made some lovely friendships with her peers. The nursery staff always go the extra mile around special occasions to ensure the children enjoy, learn new things and make special treasures for us parents. The team there are really friendly, approachable and always make me feel reassured my child is being looked after.

The nursery has been working hard with my son to help develop his speech and communication skills as he is currently delayed. He is always happy to attend in the mornings and always leaves with a big smile on his face. He enjoys his days when he is there.

Our daughter loves going to nursery and is absolutely thriving there. She seems to gain in confidence and learn new skills after every session. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the communication and relationships with parents have noticeably improved since the recent change in management.
The staff in our daughter’s room are committed, enthusiastic and caring and seem to take a genuine interest in her development both in and outside of nursery. We are extremely happy with our choice of nursery and the quality of education that they consistently provide to our little girl. Thank you!

Since the first day that our daughter attended your class, she has shown many achievements and she has developed a lot through play and activities at the nursery. I know that it’s all because of your dedication and hard work.

I have two children at this nursery - a four and two year old with my four year old having been attending for the last 18 months and my two old for around 14 months.
Both love going - they run in to nursery/preschool in the morning excited to see everyone and to see what they’d re doing.
The staff
are fantastic - friendly and engaging with the children. My four year old enthusiastically talks about all he has been doing at the end of each day and is excited to tell us who he was playing with and who was doing what.
The facilities are great as is the food. Throughout COVID the nursery has worked well and always keeps us up to date on what has been happening and what we need to do.
We receive regular feedback about the children and their milestones and I feel the staff engage us as much as they can.
I have no problem in recommending this to anyone - I regular do!

Our daughter loves going to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds with her language and overall confidence in the last year. We're delighted to see how happy she is after a busy morning when we pick her up. The communication from the nursery has improved massively since the change in management and
we feel that the Covid situation has been dealt with very well. Thank you all for working through these tough times and keep up the great work.

A friendly, welcoming atmosphere where my one year old has settled in so well. I was very worried about her starting nursery due to the pandemic however safety procedures are all in place and settling in sessions were well planned considering were we unable to enter the building. Due to the lockdowns
and restrictions, my daughter hasn't had the social experience you normally expect but she has been well cared for, happy and making progress. The communication is good with all staff and I feel all mine and my daughter's needs are currently being met.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.598)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.598) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Solihull Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.598 for Bright Horizons Solihull Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (13 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.598

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Solihull Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
